To debadge or not to debadge?
#22
what i think might look cool is leaving the scion badges, removing the rear tc badge, putting on the tc b-pillars withouth the CF look and adding the vvt-i to the grill. i have no pics of mine to photoshop yet but maybe someone can hook us up with some if it they think it might look good.

I second the debadge on the front, but only with a replacement grille.
As for the back--if it looks like there was once a badge there, and someone ripped it off, it looks like someone stole your emblem, not like you debadged the car.

there wont be one, just heat it up with the sun or a hair dryer, then pry it off with a credit card or something. nothing will be left. and i bet if you talked to randode you could get some vinyls of the tC logo.

maybe i'm just but i cannot figure out how to get the front tC emblem off... I see the two little tabs behind the grille that seem to be the way to remove it, but i can't seem to figure it out. Also, when i take it off, is it still going to have that black circle there thats behind the silver 'Scion' emblem? I'm assuming it would, but some of the pictures on here are just straight black honeycomb all the way across. I'm assuming they photoshopped the pics to see what it would look like, but then that wouldn't be what the final product would come out like...

By the way, did anyone have problems with the back scion symbol? I was looking at mine the other day and i could swear that the body is raised around it so that if you took it off it would show.

Cadre the rear panels there the emblem sits was filled and painted by a body shop.
Behind the emblem is two alignment holes on the outer circle and in the middle there is a deeper half round hold that sits in the middle as well as the whole area sitting about a 1/8" lower than the rest of the rear panel.
Anything can be done with money and time as you can see from the pics. No chop work.

i'm thinking about this myself but i already know what i want to do. i'd like to debadge the front if i can find something that's like the stock grill. i really like how the rs1 grill looks and i wish i could find that grill. as for the back...i'd take it off it it didn't leave any holes or indentation there.

the figure LLC grille off of ebay is what i have and it looks very similar to the RS1 grille Ikon.
the only badge that i have left on my car is the center scion emblem on the hatch. I took my tC off because wax always got caught around the edges!

thanks!! I'm loving the back with just the "Scion" logo on it. I like the tC on the front too. The back will definitly be debadged.

I just painted my emblem and grille trim instead of buying new grilles.
